Tucked into the woods along Sugar Bottom Road, this remarkable home feels like a treehouse retreat—floating above a heavily wooded ravine with stunning views from every level. Thoughtfully designed decks and screened porches extend the living space outdoors: a tiered system of decks connects the main level to a circular mid-level platform and down to a lower screened porch and patio—ideal for relaxing or entertaining in the trees. Inside, the open main living area enhances the connection to nature, with wood floors in the living and dining spaces, soaring ceilings, and expansive windows that frame the forested backdrop. The main-level primary suite is a true escape with a spa-like bath and soaking tub overlooking the woods. The kitchen, with granite counters and a new range (2025), is well-sized for everyday use or gatherings. Upstairs, a lofted study area, full guest bath, and vaulted second bedroom add versatility. The walkout lower level offers a large family room with wet bar, third bedroom, guest bath with heated tile floor, laundry with utility sink, and access to a woodland patio. A rare blend of seclusion, design, and connection to nature—this home is a hidden forest retreat. Fireplace/chimney for the living room is non-functional and sold in "as-is" condition. Fire seen in photos is fake and should not be relied upon.
